Skin worsening on Isotretinoin
Hello,
I have PCOD and have been prescribed TRETIVA 10 MG and Diane 35 by my dermatologist. I haven't been able to reach him due to the lockdown
My skin is way worse than before. It has been a month on the medicine and I have a lot of new pimples and inflamed skin

Don't worry... treatment depends on the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
